Ahhhh the 80s

[MissHoneychurch]

just listening to a-ha on webradio ...


.... makes me wanna dance and sing to it, which I both can't. For one I am at work, so it would look kinda strange. And I am not able to keep a rhythm or tone. So I rather not embarrass myself or others by trying in public :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. That's why I dance alone in private.

It looks stupid, but no one will know. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

2. You got that right

if I sing I sing in private. Like when I drive my car. It might look stupid from the outside, but at least no one hears :)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

4. I sing in my car, too.

Especially to hard rock music.

:)

[MissHoneychurch]

6. bobbing your head also??

:rofl:



*sniff* sorry .... :rofl:



















:hug:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

7. Hell yeah!

:D

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

8. I see a little sillouetto of a man.

Scaramouche! Scaramouche!

</waynesworld> :headbang:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

15. Will you do the fandango?

;)

Gotta get to bed now. Talk to you tomorrow. :hi:

[DainBramaged]

21. Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me

Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come easy go - will you let me go
Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go
Will not let you go - let me go (never)
Never let you go - let me go
Never let me go - ooo
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
for me
for me

(bang head here)

[MissHoneychurch]

10. LOL

cool. Do you put on a wig so that you can let your hair fly? :rofl:



Sorry, I am in a silly mood today :rofl:

[Starbucks Anarchist]

16. I have enough hair as it is.

But I do get headaches from banging my head. ;)

[MissHoneychurch]

17. Yeah it hurts to bang the steering wheel all the time

:P

[Clintmax]

3. If it's "Take On Me", that's one of my favorite songs!

I know what you mean about dancing like that at work. I've done that before, not thinking anyone is watching, and then hear someone snicker...it's embarassing.

[MissHoneychurch]

5. Yes it was "Take on me"

I just had to bite my tongue to not sing along :blush:

[MissMillie]

9. I've got "In a Big Country" playing on my MusicMatch jukebox right now

yeah... a lot of that 80s music was fun!

[MissHoneychurch]

11. I grew up with the 80s

great music, awful style :rofl:

[Left Is Write]

26. We listen to the Musicmatch 80s station pretty often.

[Brewman_Jax]

12. The last decade of truly

identifiable distinctive music. Thanks to CD's and music file services, the party will never end.

[MissHoneychurch]

14. Thursday evening there is a 80s party

here in Frankfurt. My friend and I are thinking about going.

[Brewman_Jax]

18. Party!

[MissHoneychurch]

20. You wanna come along?

[Brewman_Jax]

22. Sure!

[MissHoneychurch]

24. YAY

party time with Lurking_Argyle :bounce:

[Bassic]

13. Luckily, I was a child in the 80's

Which means I was completely oblivious to the awful fashion. Some of the music kicks ass though :)

Of course, that means I was a teen in the 90's, fashion wasn't a whole lot better then. The music still kicked ass though :D

[MissHoneychurch]

19. I was in my teens in the late 80s

only good thing there was no fashion whatsoever in the former GDR :rofl:

I enjoy some of the 90s music as well, but more the early 90s.

[no name no slogan]

27. Wow, I didn't know you grew up in the GDR

that's fascinating! :hi:

[Left Is Write]

28. Unfortunately, two of the worst offenders of 80s fashion have returned...

Skinny leggings and pegleg jeans.

Pegleg jeans can make even slender girls look hippy. Skinny leggings are just plain wrong. I wore the fashions 20+ years ago, and I don't have to wear them now! :D

[Bassic]

29. You're right about that.

And and bright pink in men's clothing. I can hardly find a decent shirt anymore :P

[xmas74]

31. And I saw one of my Girl Scouts in neon last night.

She had to show off her brand new shirt to everyone.

The only good thing about 80's styles coming back is that once again I will be able to style my hair w/o any trouble. Frizzy hair went a long way in the 80's!

[gollygee]

34. That's the worst part for me

I was so happy when flat straight hair became stylish. That was my biggest fashion problem in the 80s.

:D

[xmas74]

36. I have thick curly hair

that frizzes every chance it gets. Right now I spend about 40 minutes a day straightening it so that it is presentable. If 80's hair comes back I just have to stock up on hairspray! 5 minutes and I'm done!

[gollygee]

33. I was looking for a spring jacket for my daughter

and at Children's Place they had jackets that looked suspiciously like Member's Only jackets.

LOL

[Left Is Write]

37. I got spring jackets for both J&J at Children's Place...

I didn't see the MO-type jackets, though. It would've made me chuckle too.

[Pale Blue Dot]

23. Believe it or not, a-ha's still going strong.

They just had a top ten hit in the U.K. :woohoo:

[MissHoneychurch]

25. Oh I believe it

they were good back then. Why shouldn't they now?

:woohoo:

[xmas74]

30. Is it Take On Me?

I used to love that song!

[MissHoneychurch]

32. Yes it was "Take on Me"

right now they are playing Duran Duran

[xmas74]

35. I used to love DD!

I had posters of John Taylor on my bedroom walls in the 80's.

[MissHoneychurch]

42. I rather not say who I had pics of on my walls in the 80s

:blush:

[xmas74]

45. Go for it.

I could use a good laugh today!

[MissHoneychurch]

51. There was a German groub called Modern Talking

Gosh, I feel ashamed just to think about it :blush:
Don't you dare to tell anybody!!!!

[xmas74]

52. Never heard of them.

It's gotta be better than the pics in my locker of Tommy Lee!

[MissHoneychurch]

55. Believe me, it is not

The blonde guy is btw the main head behind the German vesion of American Idol. He was omnipresent over the last years on TV and everybody is sick of seein or hearing (he has a horrible voice) him these days.

[xmas74]

60. Sounds nasty.

Sorry for that. We all make mistakes.

[MissHoneychurch]

66. Those were my childhood sins

:rofl:

[xmas74]

68. I had a few of those.

[MissHoneychurch]

72. We were young

and needed the money :rofl:

[xmas74]

75. Let's not talk about what I did for

money or popularity!

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

58. Ach du schiesse !

Nicht Dieter Bohlen and Thomas Anders ! :rofl: I cracked up every time I heard " Brother Louie " and " Cherry Cherry Lady " LOL

[MissHoneychurch]

65. LOL

and here I thought I am kinda save with people barely knowing Modern Talking :rofl:

Believe me, I am over that time since years. Honestly. When I see Dieter Bohlen now I am changing the channel.



















:hide:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

70. I don't know why but I still remember his irritating voice .

I HATED when he was always on TV . He did those damn commercials for Buttermilch when I was there too . Ewwww I hated when " Deutschland Sucht Den Superstar " came out because it gave him a reason to croak .

[MissHoneychurch]

71. By now

everybody is tired of him. Fortunately there are no commericals with him and I am not watching DSDS

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

56. I still love Duran Duran and John Taylor .

Ohmygod - don't get me to start posting pictures LOL .

[MissHoneychurch]

57. Why not?

*innocent but evil smile*

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

61. You asked for it ! LOL !

These are from my own personal collection . I am such a Durannie !

[u4ic]

78. Gahd! I had a thing for Nick Rhodes

Fortunately, I outgrew the "orange hair and makeup" look on guys...:rofl:

[xmas74]

59. John still looks good.

If he asked I'd give it up for him.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

62. You too ?

I am cracking up over here :rofl:

[xmas74]

63. I wanted to give it up when I was thirteen.

There's less to give him now but he can have what he wants. At least my knees still work.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

67. LOL

I am bad - I have wanted to give up since I was like - ok I am 25 now meaning DD came out when I was a tiny tot - I am so bad . This is turning into a whole new thread :rofl: His wife is damn lucky .

[xmas74]

69. Yes she is.

And I have a few years on you.

[Radio_Guy]

38. Take On Me

Best. Video. Ever.

[cleofus1]

[MissHoneychurch]

43. But you still play the guitar

and that is more than cool

[cleofus1]

44. you are such a charmer

from what i can remember the 80's were good to me...i miss new mexico...

[xmas74]

46. I can beat you music-wise.

I'm listening to After the Fire and just bobbing my head w/ it.

Der Kommissar was a great 80's song!

[MissHoneychurch]

47. How about Falco?

Rock me Amadeus :)


And Der Kommissar rocked.

[xmas74]

48. Gotta do it.

He was the first punk ever to set foot on this earth.
He was a genius from the day of his birth.
He could play the piano like a ring and a bell
And ev'rybody screamed:
Come on, rock me Amadeus.
He was a superstar, he was dynamite and whatever he did (it)
Seemed to be alright.
And he drank (and) he cursed and he fooled around
But when the women would shout:
Rock me Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus,
Oh oh oh Amadeus.
With a bottle of wine in one hand and a woman in the other
'Cause he was a ladies man
He never stopped to worry what the next day would bring
Because the girls would sing:
Rock me Amadeus,
etc...
His mind was on rock and roll and having fun
Because he lived so fast he had to die so young.
But he made his mark in history.
Still ev'rybody says:
Rock me Amadeus

[MissHoneychurch]

50. LOL

this is the first time I read it in English ... :rofl:

Er war ein punker
Und er lebte in der großen stadt
Es war in wien, war vienna
Wo er alles tat
Er hatte schulden denn er trank
Doch ihn liebten alle frauen
Und jede rief:
Come and rock me amadeus

Er war superstar
Er war populär
Er war so exaltiert
Because er hatte flair
Er war ein virtuose
War ein rockidol
Und alles rief:
Come and rock me amadeus
Amadeus, amadeus...

Es war um 1780
Und es war in wien
No plastic money anymore
Die banken gegen ihn
Woher die schulden kamen
War wohl jedermann bekannt
Er war ein mann der frauen
Frauen liebten seinen punk

Er war superstar
Er war populär
Er war so exaltiert
Because er hatte flair
Er war ein virtuose
War ein rockidol
Und alles rief:
Come and rock me amadeus
Amadeus, amadeus...

[xmas74]

53. It was the first time I'd ever read the lyrics in

English too.

It was a fun song.

[cleofus1]

49. geez...

talking heads...kids in america...dancing on the ceiling...rock lobster...big trouble in little china...HBO...MTV...

i think i'm having one of those dad blam flashbacks...

[xmas74]

54. I'm listening to Retro-Active on

my digital cable. Lots of old songs I haven't heard in years!

[libnnc]

73. I love Retro-Active on the tee-vee

I listen to it all the time :bounce:

[xmas74]

74. It's on right now.

I go back and forth between there, 80's and 90's, classic, alternative and adult alternative.

[DarkmoonIkonoklast]

76. All THREE versions!

;D

[xmas74]

77. I have an Option 30 version somewhere on my computer.

Yep, one of Trent Reznor's bands before NIN.

Sometimes I watch it when I need a really good laugh.

[MadHound]

64. Loved the late seventies, early eightie

Back in the day when I was a mad DJ, still spinning vinyl. Lots of cool intersing, very good music, still fresh and not overplayed all to hell. Played everything from Ramones and the Clash to Michael Jackson, whose Off the Wall albumn I loved. When Thriller came out, I actually bought a copy of it and played it once. Never again for at least a decade because they over exposed it so badly.

Oh yeah, good times, good times, back when the AOR format was still king, and radios weren't all merged. There were still very distinct regional differences in the music played, not this Clear Channel pabulum that is the same everywhere.

Good times.
